Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and King Felipe VI of Spain and his wife, Queen Letizia, participated in a ceremony in Barcelona on Friday, to mark the first anniversary of the Las Ramblas terror attacks.

The commemoration event took place at the Plaza Catalunya, near the site of the tragedy.

A van ploughed into pedestrians in Las Ramblas in the Catalonian capital, killing a total of 14 and injuring over 100, on August 17 last year. The attacker then fatally stabbed a driver, bringing the death toll of the first attack to 15.
